There are 3 flavors that make up our culinary pyramid: Bacon, Sriracha and Truffles.

Truffles? No, not chocolate. The fungus. If you haven't had truffles before, trust us - they're unreal delicious. Much like bacon, they can be used on almost anything. Much unlike bacon, they are not made of pigs - but pigs often have a big role in finding them. They use their acute senses of smell to help truffle "hunters" dig them up from the roots of trees in certain regions in Italy, France and even the US with just the right soil conditions.

Our newest product - Black Truffle Crisps - may just be the best thing we've ever made. They're available in Western Canada Costcos for a limited time and at www.TruffleCrisps.com. They're great with cheese, cured meats/salumi, as a gourmet snack, or as a side to your favorite soups and salads. Buon appetito!

You may know that we've been boating in Sriracha flavored waters with the recent launch of Sriracha popcorn.

This venture was so successful that today we launched Sriracha Lip Balm. It's the latest J&D's Foods product made with The Oatmeal and it's a strange combination of SPF 15 and making out with tasty napalm. It's available for $3.99 with free shipping from J&D's at: http://store.baconsalt.com/Lip-Balm_c_10.html

Sriracha Lip Balm makes a great stocking stuffer for anyone that loves the rooster!

Happy Thanksbacon - Bacony Recipes for the Holidaystag:typepad.com,2003:post-6a00d8341d837f53ef017ee568ea60970d2012-11-19T15:15:39-08:002012-11-19T15:22:05-08:00Thanksgiving is coming!

Thanksgiving is coming! While you prepare to have the family over and hang bacon and turkey themed art around the home, we thought we'd share some of our favorite recipes for the holidays. The easy shortcut to all of our holiday recipes (and there are some really, really good ones) is right here. There are even some great vegetarian recipes in there.

It's worth noting that if you decide to deep-fry your turkey like a true patriot this holiday, please take the proper precautions. Last year, deep fried turkey accidents cause 27 million dollars worth of home damage. That's a pretty expensive meal! Make sure that bird is thoroughly defrosted, people.

Hope you all have a wonderful time preparing for the holiday and eating everything in sight.

To post your own recipes, go to www.jdfoods.net/recipe - we give you free stuff when we feature one of your recipes on our home page. Added bonus - friend us on Facebook for your chance to win free gear every Friday. No doubt, what you can win will taste like Bacon - as everything should.

Want a J&D's product to be sold at a store near you? We've made it easier than ever with our grocer request form. Just fill it out and hand it to your local store manager - you'll be helping yourself and humanity (within a 20 mile radius at least). They really work!

New Invention!

Which is why we couldn’t wait to team up with him on our newest invention – Sriracha Popcorn. It’s a Thai-inspired kick-in-the-face with red chilies, garlic, sugar and a hint of vinegar. Just like the Rooster Sauce that inspired it, we think you’ll find yourself getting as addicted to it as we are.

Buy it on the J&D’s website for only $5.99, or save money by buying it in a 3-pack or 18-pack case. You can also buy it direct from TheOatmeal.com and bundle in a very instructive guide to punching a dolphin in the mouth (we read this after watching The Cove and are pretty confused about life right now) plus loads of other incredible Sriracha and non-Sriracha themed merchandise.

Supplies are very limited – so get some Roostercorn while you can!

Help keep BaconPOP at Kroger storestag:typepad.com,2003:post-6a00d8341d837f53ef01630442e990970d2012-04-16T10:54:04-07:002012-04-16T10:54:04-07:00Dear Friends and Bacon Lovers - We recently learned that next month Kroger will be discontinuing Original BaconPOP and Cheddar BaconPOP in several corporate banners including Baker’s, City Market, Dillions, Fry’s, King Soopers, Kroger, Ralph’s and Smith’s stores.

Dear Friends and Bacon Lovers -

We recently learned that next month Kroger will be discontinuing Original BaconPOP and Cheddar BaconPOP in several corporate banners including Baker’s, City Market, Dillions, Fry’s, King Soopers, Kroger, Ralph’s and Smith’s stores. In communicating the decision to us, Kroger stated that though the sales of BaconPOP were strong, they were unsure if there was an ongoing customer demand for bacon flavored microwave popcorn.

Luckily for all of us, Kroger is a company that listens to its customers. According to Kroger.com, “Customer satisfaction is our top priority. We welcome your comments, questions and suggestions.”

With that in mind, if you’d like Kroger to continue to stock BaconPOP, we humbly ask you to politely communicate with them and request that they continue stocking both Original BaconPOP and Cheddar BaconPOP in their stores.

To do this, please visit Kroger’s online Customer Comments page at https://customer.kroger.com/comments/comments.aspx/ , select “Product Comment/Inquiry/Suggestion/Request” as your Reason For Comment and kindly encourage them to continue stocking J&D's BaconPOP. It will take no more than 2 minutes of your time to do this.

Thanks again for your continued support of the bacon flavored microwave popcorn arts.

Happy April Fool's - Bacon Coffins are STILL REALtag:typepad.com,2003:post-6a00d8341d837f53ef016303a4a7f6970d2012-04-03T11:59:16-07:002012-04-03T11:59:16-07:00For the last several years, we've played increasingly elaborate April Fool's jokes on select members of the media and the public at large.

For the last several years, we've played increasingly elaborate April Fool's jokes on select members of the media and the public at large. It started with baconlube (which became a real product), then BaconAir (bacon flavored oxygen inhalers - still not real) and BaconBaby baby formula (will never be real).

This year was no different, but we decided to play the joke a little differently than years past. Here's how it went down.

We sent this video to thousands of members of the media with an over-the-top press release saying things like "Bacon Coffins are finished with a painted Bacon and Pork shading and accented with gold stationary handles. The interior has an adjustable bed and mattress, a bacon memorial tube and is completed in ivory crepe coffin linens. Classy. Bacon. Coffin."

But the real joke is... that Bacon Coffins are STILL REAL. We really are making and selling these - and that's our April Fool's joke, maybe the best April Fool's joke we've ever played.

Still don't believe us? Buy one for yourself at www.BaconCoffins.com. For the low, low price of $2,999.99, you can be buried forever in an eternal pork embrace.
